SUMMARY:World Bank Central Asia Climate Change Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Central Asia is particularly vulnerable to the negative impacts of a rapidly changing climate—it is an arid\, landlocked\, snow-fed region with most of its water originating in glaciers of upstream mountains and neighboring countries that has a largely agrarian economy\, aging infrastructure\, and high population growth. Although the countries of the region – Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyz Republic\, Tajikistan\, Turkmenistan\, and Uzbekistan – have distinct landscapes\, natural climatic conditions\, development priorities\, and the transboundary nature of climate change exposes each Central Asian nation with novel risks. \nTo address these risks\, governments in the region and their development partners will need tackle strategic challenges\, including transitioning towards carbon neutrality and climate resilience through low-carbon\, climate resilient development; renovating and upgrading the climate resilience of water\, energy\, and food infrastructure; strengthening the capacity of local communities; and implementing progressive regulatory and institutional reforms to attract needed investments. Doing so will require regional cooperation and unprecedented economic and social transformations. \nOn May 16-17th\, the 5th Central Asia Climate Change Conference (CACCC-2023) is bringing together key stakeholders to discuss water\, energy\, food\, and environmental sustainability in the context of a changing climate across Central Asia. Conference participants will discuss progress by Central Asian countries on climate mitigation and adaptation action\, relevant initiatives to achieve cross-sectoral climate resilience\, and platforms available for regional cooperation. \nThe Conference is organized by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) within the “Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program in the Aral Sea Basin AF” (CAMP4ASB AF)\, “Central Asia Nexus Dialogue Project: Fostering Water\, Energy and Food Security Nexus and Multi-Sector Investment”(NEXUS) in cooperation with the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan\, PROGREEN\, and the Central Asia Water & Energy Program (CAWEP)\, which is a partnership between the World Bank\, the European Union\, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. \nWorking languages: Russian\, English. Simultaneous translation will be provided by the organizers. \nFollow the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag: #CAClimate2023 \nGeneral link to watch the following sessions: \nDay 1 \n\nOpening Session;\nOpening Plenary: Climate Change and Development in Central Asia;\nPanel Discussion 1: National policies\, strategies and programs for climate mitigation and adaptation;\nParallel Session A.1: Water Security;\nParallel Session B.1: Circular Economy;\n\nDay 2 \n\nPanel Session 2: Leveraging regional collaboration in a changing global policy environment;\nParallel Session C.1:  Air pollution\, health\, and climate change;\nPanel Session 3: Climate financing: needs and opportunities;\nClosing Plenary.\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:79th session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP)
DESCRIPTION:The seventy-ninth session of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will be held from 15 to 19 May 2023 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. \nGuided by the theme “Accelerating climate action in Asia and the Pacific for sustainable development”\, the annual session will be an opportunity to strengthen regional cooperation on climate change. \nThe session will bring together Government leaders from across Asia and the Pacific and other key stakeholders to discuss policy options and areas of regional cooperation required to accelerate climate action in the region and beyond. With dedicated discussions on catalysing climate finance and investments\, complemented by a climate solutions fair\, the session will allow identifying opportunities\, sharing solutions and facilitate engagement of a broad set of partners and stakeholders\, to both reduce the risks and impacts of climate change and foster ambitious climate action in Asia and the Pacific towards net-zero pathways and limit global temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. \nThe theme study sets out the transformations that are needed for Asia and the Pacific to transition to a net-zero-carbon future in support of sustainable development. It provides an outline of the regional context of climate change and identifies policies and actions that could be taken in various sectors of the economy to support the global climate agenda\, while also making broad economic\, social and environmental gains. To close the emissions gap in key sectors\, efforts must be made to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. Low-carbon mobility and logistical solutions are crucial for accelerating innovation\, developing technologies and tapping into greener fuels. The move towards low-carbon transport options requires an integrated approach to land use and urban planning\, as Asia and the Pacific is rapidly motorizing. Furthermore\, Governments need to boost their climate-smart trade and investment sectors so that they can decarbonize industries that are currently notable for exporting carbon-intensive goods. Trade and investment should be utilized as force multipliers to combat climate change but are still missing from the existing regional climate landscape. The theme study also contains information on climate-related financing needs in the region and addresses data gaps for better monitoring. Given the carbon neutrality commitments from the majority of Asia-Pacific countries\, the report recommends strengthening regional policy dialogue and technical cooperation on low carbon\, climate-resilient transition. \nCREDENTIALS AND REGISTRATION \nEach delegation is required to submit a letter of credentials\, duly signed by the appropriate authority of the respective Government or organization\, at the earliest convenience\, preferably by 11 May 2023 to oes.unescap@un.org. \nAll participants who appear in the letter of credentials are requested to register online at https://indico.un.org/event/1003482/ as soon as possible but no later than 11 May 2023. Only the names of duly accredited and registered participants will be included in the list of participants. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Strategies Towards Reaching Zero Plastic Pollution
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean every year\, making up over 85% of total marine waste.\n\n\n\n\n\nPlastic pollution is an accelerating global problem. An estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean every year\, making up over 85% of total marine waste. This devastates ecosystems and impacts livelihoods. The global community needs to tackle this issue\, and is taking steps to do so through the development of an international treaty on plastic pollution. \nDespite these serious issues\, the material qualities of plastic make it incredibly useful. In many use cases within hygiene and healthcare for example\, we currently have no suitable alternative. Further\, the material has a role to play in global progress toward net zero. It keeps food fresh\, it makes cars lighter and has uses in insulation and solar equipment. However\, current levels of plastic waste are untenable. \nPlastic manufacturers\, retailers\, governments\, environmental groups and scientists alike have set out a vision to eliminate plastic waste. This will entail an overhaul of legal\, social and regulatory frameworks as well as significant scaling of new technologies and materials. The next stage of the negotiations for the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution will take place in Paris in late May (INC-2). \nThis Financial Times online briefing\, organised in partnership with the Global Partners for Plastics Circularity\, a collaboration of the International Council of Chemical Associations\, will explore how plastic pollution has become so prevalent\, what is needed to overcome this issue and the role that an international agreement could play. \n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Measuring Development 2023: Mitigating the Risks and Impacts of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Human activity has caused precipitous increases in greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions\, resulting in a one degree warming of average global surface temperatures over the past century.  As the planet responds to rising emissions\, extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent\, distressing both natural and human systems. Researchers and practitioners need innovative analytical tools and data sources to understand how to mitigate the risks and impact of climate change on welfare.  COP27 ended with a compromise to create a fund sourced from developed countries to remedy climate change damages in low income and fragile contexts. This adds to the panoply of climate funds and financial tools geared toward broader action on climate change and the commitment of all development institutions to align their financing with the Paris Agreement. To make sure these investments maximize well-being and protect those who are most at risk\, we need to assess not only what the damages would be and who would be most vulnerable\, but also what mitigation and resilience strategies are most effective. \nTo this end\, the World Bank’s  Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) department and Data Analytics and Tools (DECAT) unit\, the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA)\, and the University of Chicago’s Development Innovation Lab (DIL) will host the ninth annual Measuring Development Conference (MeasureDev). The Mitigating the Risks and Impacts of Climate Change conference will convene researchers at the frontiers of physical and social sciences and decision-makers who influence humanity’s responses to the challenges of climate change.  It will showcase innovative data sources and analytical techniques to better monitor emissions and appraise efforts to mitigate their consequences.  MeasureDev will feature a series of presentations\, panel discussions\, and lightning talks on novel applications of mobile data\, satellite imagery\, remote sensing technologies\, and the computational approaches to make sense of the data to provide more granular\, frequent\, and accurate insights regarding our changing climate and actions to respond.  Participants will learn about the frontiers of measurement using these approaches and gain perspectives from leading academic and industry pioneers. Researchers\, graduate students\, practitioners\, policymakers\, and industry partners are all welcome to submit to register to attend the conference using this form. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:How Can The Built Environment Drive Social and Environmental Value?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with JLL\, will delve into the rising importance of social value in the development of a net-zero\, healthy\, and equitable built environment. It will look at the key challenges and tensions between short and long term priorities and how the ecosystem of stakeholders can align and engage in the creation of spaces that are safe\, inclusive\, resilient and sustainable. Our experts will share practical experiences and discuss ways to achieve decarbonisation goals alongside social and financial targets\, explore opportunities for shared value and stakeholder collaboration\, and examine how to improve the human value proposition throughout the entire real estate cycle. \nSocial value is a core part of ESG\, yet there is a gap between ambition and action. Companies typically take a fragmented approach and focus more on the ‘E’ – rather than addressing environmental and social goals in tandem. Those who take a holistic approach across the real estate cycle\, can transform the built environment into a driver of positive change\, for both people and planet\, while accelerating progress and unlocking competitive advantage. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:US Climate Action Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is the US Climate Action Summit?\n\n\n\nBack for its third year\, the US Climate Action Summit unites key leaders in business\, politics and advocacy to drive US climate momentum during Earth Week. \nWe’re hosting an intimate yet innovative program that favours participation\, progress and accountability. \nOur goal for the US Climate Action Summit is to create a participant-led platform that drives measurable outcomes on climate policy and business action\, with attendees at the heart of the agenda. \n\n\nHow is this event different?\n\n\n\nWe know events alone will not change the world. But the people and conversations at them can. We need a little less conversation and a lot more action at events like this. \nWe’ve seen a huge demand from our business\, policy and NGO networks for an open and honest platform that pushes progress and implementation. \nSo we’ve designed an agenda that puts participation at the center of the program by creating an open space for off the record conversations\, carefully curated small-group conversations\, and a series of closed-door implementation sessions that deliver real outcomes. \n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Progress and Challenges to Achieving a Common Taxonomy for Climate Investments
DESCRIPTION:Policymakers from China and the EU discuss current climate investment taxonomies and what is needed to achieve a common worldwide taxonomy. \nAs countries and governments have pursued policies and regulations to fulfill their commitments to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century\, they have formulated classification systems or “taxonomies” to define\, guide and measure environmentally sustainable economic activities. Taxonomies have been developed in the EU\, China and around the world to translate green objectives into criteria for investment\, establish how assets and projects are aligned with green objectives and define green activities that can be financed by the financial system. \nIn this free webinar\, two distinguished policymakers will discuss the most well-developed taxonomies currently in place (EU and China); explore the similarities\, differences\, and implementation progress to date; and debate what is still needed to achieve a common taxonomy and harmonization worldwide. What has been the experience to date and where are the gaps\, as countries move from principles to more detailed technical criteria on the path to a green transition? \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:Evaluating the role of low-carbon hydrogen in the future energy system
DESCRIPTION:Low-carbon hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the future energy system\, particularly in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Yet several key barriers to adoption remain\, and it is likely that at least three times the hydrogen capacity announced so far will be needed by 2030 to stay on track to hit net-zero targets by 2050. \nIn this Economist Impact insight hour\, join us as we identify the barriers to adoption and pinpoint the practical solutions needed to deploy low-carbon hydrogen at scale and meet imminent emission-reduction targets. To what extent can regulation help to accelerate large-scale hydrogen deployment? What investment is needed into renewable-energy capacity\, grids and infrastructure? Will the creation of collaborative hydrogen hubs be enough to kick-start the hydrogen economy and reduce the fragility of existing global energy markets? What more is needed to make change happen? \nThis Insight Hour is programmed by Economist Impact and hosted by Deloitte. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:High-level Forest and Climate Resilience Forum for Liberia
DESCRIPTION:The Government of Liberia with the support of the Kingdom of Norway and the World Bank is organizing a high-level Forest and Climate Resilience Forum\, on February 2-3\, 2023.

It will highlight and showcase Liberia’s progress in forest and climate resilience policy\, and tangible successes on the ground in relation to sustainable forest management\, community forestry\, conservation forestry\, among others. The Forum will also explore lessons learnt from other parts of the world and regionally regarding sustainable forest management\, to inform future development of the sector in Liberia. This will ultimately provide possibilities for next steps in advancing forestry together with livelihoods\, agriculture\, climate resilience\, and infrastructure. \nThe President of Liberia\, His Excellency Dr. George Manneh Weah will address the opening session of the Forum.
